TGIaF!!!!

Thank God It’s a Friday! (As my friend Allison would say!)
Wow. You know what part of my job I don’t like? The part where parents are mean to me/treat me like I am dumb. I can’t really go into much detail, you know, “just in case,” but man. I’ll take a kid with a bloody nose over an entitled parent any day of the week. Eeny day.
We are studying penguins in the 1st grade right now. Do not ask me why. It is a tradition at my school, I guess. Anyway, the kids had to make little penguin journals yesterday. They decorated the cover with a construction paper penguin- you know the type. Yellow beak, yellow feet, standing on an iceberg, maybe a little cross-eyed. Except for one awesome little boy. He made his penguin in profile with sort of hunched shoulders and a beak pointing down. Then he used a scrap of black paper to make a big cloud over the penguin’s head. And finally he punched some while holes and glued them down under the cloud, above the penguin. It looked like it should have a “that’s life” caption underneath. Or “What’s next? A leopard seal?” Or simply, “it ain’t easy.” I’ll post a picture of it soon. I effing love that penguin.
Finally, here is an emo exchange that I found on the Internet. I feel like a rubber necker!
